C Herb has been used by herbalists, shaman, chiropractors, naturopaths, massage therapists, dermatologists, nurses, MDs and others for removing skin and other types of cancers, warts, moles, cysts, tumors and other foreign pathogens.
The larger the area treated and the deeper the tissue is affected the longer it takes for the herb to work. It is quite normal for a small mole or wart to be removed within 6 to 10 days after treatment is begun. It appears that topical application of C-herb to offending tissue mobilizes a local immune response that destroys cancers, viruses and other pathogens with the activated Natural Killer cells, macrophages and Tumor Necrosis Factor cells. We know that C-herb effects the ability of these pathogens to hide or camoflauge within the large protein molecules they often use for this purpose.
After C-Herb is applied to the offending tissue it works in a very predictable manner. 24 hours after the application one can expect a red ring to surround the offending tissue site and some itching may occur. This indicates the immune system has been activated and the removal process has begun. After 48 hours the red ring will have a degree of white adjoining it, suggesting a concentration of white blood cells now surround the foreign tissue. On days 3 to 5 it appears that the immune system identifies and destroys the abnormal or foreign tissue and separates it from normal tissue. 5 to 7 days after the first application one can expect the offending tissue to turn dark and slough off. The vacated root system leaves a cavity which fills in within 10 to 14 days, usually with only a slight pigment change or discoloration. A collagen deficiency may cause some people to scar from this process, but that is not a normal experience.

C Herb Theory
A normal human body develops immune cells, including NK (Natural Killer) cells, antibodies, B-cells, lymphocytes, T-cells and white blood cells. These immune cells act as a line of defense against invading pathogens and foreign objects to prevent disease and illness.
The NK cell is uniquely different from all other immune cells in that it does not take 2 weeks to develop the ability to kill pathogens. NK cells, when stimulated, have the ability to identify and cause the destruction of cancers, viruses, and many other invading pathogens upon first time contact by either directly destroying the pathogen or marking it for destruction by another immune system element.
Two key immune system terms are mobilization and stimulation. Mobilization is the release of the immune cells, including NK cells, into the bloodstream. The blood then provides a mechanism of transportation and communication for the cells. NK cells are like firemen, housed in a fire station(organs of the body) just waiting to be called out to a fire. Just as a fire alarm sends the firemen to the site of the fire, foreign cells, infections, trauma, stress, disease and exercise send large numbers of NK cells into the blood where they seek out and identify the site of the problem or emergency.
An NK cell is stimulated when it is armed, meaning that it has the ability to kill, destroy, or mark foreign cells for destruction. Just as an atomic bomb must be armed before it can be exploded so must these NK cells be armed (stimulated) before they can destroy foreign cells. Once armed, these NK cells are ready to be mobilized and identify foreign or non-self cells from normal or self-cells. After these non-self cells are identified as foreign, the NK cells will directly kill the offending cell or mark it as a foreigner where it will be destroyed by other components of the immune system. A stimulated NK cell needs only to come in contact with a cancer or virus cell to cause its destruction: hence mobilizing and stimulating NK cells is a common approach to destroying cancer cells.
One technique of cancer cure, well defined in the technical literature, is to remove NK cells from the body, externally stimulate them with interferon or other immune components, and then re-introduce them into the body where they will kill non-self cancers, viruses and other pathogens. Another common form of cancer therapy, again well documented, is to inject interferon directly into the bloodstream. The interferon mobilizes and stimulates NK cells which in turn kill cancers. When these two therapies are used as a cancer treatment there is the potential for rejection, overstimulation, auto-immunity and other side effects.
In a major breakthrough of current NK cell research it has been demonstrated that certain herbs, circulating in the bloodstream, will combine with the effects of specific types of exercise, causing the body to naturally mobilize and stimulate NK cells. These stimulated NK cells have demonstrated an increased ability to kill cancer cells vitro and in vitro.
Just as NK cells are stimulated internally by herbs and exercise (and C-Herb), it appears that they are also mobilized and stimulated by topical (surface) application of C-Herb to the skin. The response to the signal provided by C-herb is very predictable and repeatable.
It is reported that an individual can feel the exact moment when C-herb begins to stimulate the natural immune functions. The sensation has been described by some individuals to be like a slight sting, pinch or itch. The stinging has been reported to last up to 4 hours after application. When one feels this sensation they can be assured that the offending tissue is being successfully attacked by the immune system.
This natural process eliminates the non-self cells including the total root system, leaving a vacated cavity. Since the normal body cells have not been removed or destroyed, the body remembers its original genetic makeup (DNA) and the healing process will return the tissue to its original genetic blueprint.
C-Herb theory suggests that oral ingestion should cause systemic effects similar to topical application. There have been thousands of people who have taken C-herb orally with much success, especially when combined with immune-enhancing supplementation like Immune Maxx.
C-Herb was tested at the Utah State University Antiviral Research Laboratory. The testing demonstrated that C-herb significantly inhibits Herpes virus growth in BALB-C test mice. It should be noted that overdosing of C-Herb (more than one application per day) producted a white rash.
C-Herb has been used successfully to remove warts from the teats and udders of cows(the warts can interfere with the milking process and cause discomfort). The application and process of removal has been essentially the same as that reported for humans. No adverse affects have been identified on cows. C-Herb has been used to successfully remove abnormal tissue from the ears of horses and dogs.
A significant number of individuals have topically (or combination of external and internal use) removed cancers, warts, moles and other foreign cells from various areas of the body. The removal success rate approaches 100% and few side effects have been reported.
It is important to note that excessive application of C-Herb will cause a dry-white rash in many cases and make the area much more swollen, tender and irritated than is necessary.
Conclusions
The effects of topical application of C-Herb on humans are predictable and repeatable (mole, wart, skin-cancer removal). This is also true of animals, specifically cows, horses and dogs. C-Herb is consistent and predictable in the removal of cancers, moles and warts.
C-Herb has been used by many people when working with their health challenges or those of their patients. It works extremely well by separating the large protein molecules they hide in from the virus or cancer cells as well as activating the NK cells. This allows the immune system to identify and eliminate these undesired organisms. It is very important, therefore, that one strengthen their immune system during and after the time they use C-Herb. C-Herb has often proved beneficial when the individual took it for several months, taking a 1 day break every week to rest up the immune system.
Virus: C-Herb has been used on all kinds of viruses like Mono, EBV,CFS, Herpes, Hepatitis (all 3 kinds), common flu, common cold, and many more. Normally one need take 1 dose daily as suggested, but severe cases often respond to a dose (1/4 gram) twice a day.
Fungus, Yeast, Candida:It has also been effective when used for fungal and yeast problems. Because it works so quickly one should be careful when using with Thrush or other yeast-like growths in the mouth or throat as it will cause extreme agitation the first couple of days if taken too quickly. I suggest that one use a capsule for the first few days to prevent these tissues from becoming inflammed and unnecessarily sore.
Cancer & Abnormal Cell Growth: Using C-Herb in conjunction with immune enhancing (particularly NK and T cells) supplements has proven very effective for these types of problems. Dosage depends on size of person and the extent of the problem. I have seen up to 4 servings per day with people for a few weeks to get the problem under control, then decreasing as desired.
Multiple Sclerosis: C-Herb has been effectively used in several successful MS protocols over the years.
Common cold: When I have people that cannot shake the common cold with other treatments I have suggested they take some C-Herb with their program and within hours they start seeing a difference.
Allergies: C Herb has been very effective for many folks in reducing their allergies because of the impact that it has on the immune system
